Silver Star Properties Cares for People
At Silver Star Properties, we care for people, from our employees to clients to tenants. Everyone matters, and we have numerous initiatives every year aimed at positively impacting our people.
Benevolence Fund
The purpose of our Benevolence Fund is to extend aid to team members who are experiencing seasons of need or financial crisis. The fund is also used to support charitable organizations that align with our Core Values. Employees may voluntarily contribute weekly or one-time donations through payroll deductions. It is also annually funded by board commitment contributions of $100,000.
Any employee can apply for money from the Benevolence Fund, and are not required to have contributed to be a recipient of this aid. Benevolence Funds have been used for varied purposes, such as extended sickness when the employee has run out of PTO, hospital or medical related bills, emergency house or transportation needs, or assistance in the event of a death in the immediate family.
In addition the Benevolence Fund, Silver Star Properties helps its employees in many ways:
